Out of all of the possible uses, Brookfield goes with...... self-storage in prime downtown land??? They've got to be completely drunk out of their minds. This is the kind of stuff that absolutely makes me irate. Think outside of the box if you cant come up with anything good (ie: commercial...

If anyone wants a visual of a big part of why the security situation is a mess at Union Station, here's a map: (i'll also add that the city's security firm that they contracted is virtually useless and inept, and Metrolinx generally does a somewhat better job with the area's they're responsible for)

Is this the official start of the Badiali line up? 🤔 Started even soon than i predicted

I'll speak to your first point: Union station is far from complete my friend. After the Bremner concourse is complete we have: 1) The main platform reconfiguration project 2) Streetcar platform expansion and reconfiguration 3) Yonge St PATH project/connection (concept stage right now) 4) OCS...

Fully expecting the lineup for this to begin 1 week before store opening, because some Toronto people cant help themselves. Good news for the neighbourhood though!

Not to worry, I can assure you this aint being built.

At this rate, give all the stations 2-3 Years and they will end up looking like the platform level of Lawrence West, but even worse. I've noticed the same at virtually all of the underground stations, this is actually embarrassingly bad. Source: WikiCommons

Absolutely horrendous mechanical level cladding. Congrats Alterra, you've really outdone yourselves...

Depends on who acquired 2150 Lake Shore; I dont know officially who the wouldbe acquirer of the site would be, but i'm assuming it's very likely KingSett. If it's KingSett then they sure as hell arent building, and they'll attempt to divvy the site up to the highest bidder. It it's Choice, then...

Gotta love the fantasy land stuff! I'm sure this will get built someday, somewhere in North America....just not in Toronto.

Bumping this thread because of the mega news in the Real Estate world: First Capital is no more, and with that i'm afraid we can very likely kiss goodbye to the saving grace plan of 2150 Lake Shore, and Humber Bay: https://renx.ca/kingsett-choice-to-acquire-first-capital-reit-in-94b-transaction

Well i've got great news for you! As @interchange42 alluded to, First Capital is basically no more. So unfortunately 2150 Lake Shore is in a permanent sate of stasis, and what makes that site even more complicated is that part of it was already divested to Pemberton. Then add to current market...

Ah yes, how could we ever forget about the Downtown Toronto Correctional and Detention Centre!

Who is they? This site is completely unrelated to the old Mr.Christie's lands.

Unix apparently. Seems like they're really into this lunatic gutter trash.
